DESCRIPTION
This proposal states that cities, towns, and villages that have planning and
zoning authority would be allowed to establish uniform setback requirements
which could not discriminate against buildings used for religious purposes.
Cities, towns, or villages would not be allowed to directly or indirectly
obstruct the construction of a church or religious institution when the
church complies with the established zoning and setback requirements.
Conflicting ordinances relating to the development of a church would be
construed to favor the church development.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
